COMISKEY TO TRAIN HERE.

Selects Marlin Again and Will
Bring Forty Men.

The following special from Chicago to the Dallas News is of much interest in
Marlin:
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12--Comiskey will lead
a small-sized army, consisting of forty odd ball players to Marlin, Texas.,
early in March for a thorough training before the spring season of exhibition
games.
The old Roman opened negotiations with the
Texas resort this afternoon and hopes to complete arrangements by the end of the
week. He has an enormous list of young players and says he will take the
whole crowd along and none are to be let go until he has a complete tryout and
is given every chance to see what ability he has.
Marlin is not unknown to White Sox players,
as it was their training ground several years ago. The baths are good and
there is a good ball park. Comiskey thinks that the weather conditions
will be as favorable as any that prevail in the South in the early spring.
The owner of the ex-world's champions has
his heart set an (sic) another American league championship. It is quite
evident he intends to have plenty of material with which to build a
world-beating team.
